[size=10pt]I need help.[/size]
At christmas i got the Dark Magic 2 yoyo and have been prcticing on it alot, but about a week ago it started having problems. The yoyo tilts on and angle no mater what i try to do to fix it, this causes the spin to be alot slower than the it should. Not only that but the yoyo can’t do a string trick without spinning out in 10 second. can you help me figure out the problem, should i replace it should i just tweek it some how?

Did you check the bearing unscrew it a spin the bearing on it’s own if it doesn’t spin for more than like three or so seconds something’s wrong with the bearing. If so you should try cleaning it. Here’s some links for help doing so How to Clean Your YoYo Bearing - Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance - YoYoExpert

No offense, but how long have you been throwing? A good portion of the problems people have with a yoyo are at the other end of the string. It sounds more like your throw needs work than the yoyo. Maybe I’m wrong…

I agree with jhb when I first started my throws weren’t the best and the same thing would happen. The yoyo would tilt and give me very little spin time. The best thing you can do is probably just practise. Throw it over and over until you get it to go straight every time. Don’t get frustrated and you’ll get it eventually.
